Day-to-day life in Firestone, CO
Anyone else feel this way? There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

I work in engineering here and I love the pace of life here. The job market for my field is improving. No regrets on my end..

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value housing market, you'll love it. The public transit is genuinely excellent and I've found it's improved dramatically in recent years. My neighborhood (Riverside) is growing and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Minneapolis, be prepared for the culture shock. pet-friendliness is completely different here. And Winters are long and cold.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem solid.
I've been here 12 years and it was the best decision I ever made. The thing nobody mentions is nightlife. It's competitive and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the safety is legit. And if you're into camping, this place is decent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The East side vs the Springfield side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Hope this helps!.
